LuAnn de Lesseps just wants to have a storyline baby, y’all. She wants to keep her much younger man by proving she’s not so close to menopause after all. Or does she?

In a new report by the Huffington Post, the Real Housewives of New York star’s MOTHER claims LuAnn doesn’t want any more kiddies because she had her tubes tied following the birth of her son Noelle. Noelle is now 16.

“Luann’s tubes were tied after her last kid,” LuAnn’s 80-year-oldish mother announced at the RHONY premiere in June. When asked to clarify, her mother was emphatic: “Her tubes are tied!”

LuAnn claims her mother was merely joking. “If she said that, it’s my mother’s way of joking,” Luann insists. This seems about as much of a joke as the Ramona Pinot caper at the Wine Olympics.

Adding, “She had seven children, and at this point, she would rather travel with me than babysit, but it’s absolutely not true.”
